Vessel

Just within the limits of vision Close to the edge of unconsciousness Lurk beyond the scope of awareness Close to the edge of unconsciousness Borders of human perception closing in Mind blind deaf and dumb, stumbling in the world Aware only of that which is concrete Fail to recognize the unseen Peripheral Lurk beyond the scope of awareness Close to the edge of unconsciousness Aware only of that which is concrete Fail to recognize the fourth dimension Peripheral Peripheral Concealed drifters Subtle bodies Lurking beyond Sense perception Delicate our human sanity Not equipped to cope with That which is inexplicable That which is outside of logical reasoning Caught in perceptual darkness Cut off from the world Peripheral Peripheral Veiled in time, cryptic, shadow beings Shapeshift, evade, confuse, control, manipulate Disguised, obscured, indistinct, hypnotize Dominate Mind shut down from the inside Cut off certainly Cast out No more seeking Blank eyes stare off Overthrown from the body you call home Possession of the mind Possession of the soul Invasion, soul banished Amputate, torn from limbs The banished, abyss Confusion, flailing in purgatory Unprepared for soul exile Spinning wild in collective unconscious

Skin will break Bones will break Nothing more than a vessel Nothing more than a vessel Weighed down Inside this cage Trapped within The force of gravity That holds me down It keeps me fixed here So caught and still Forces dependence Upon this shell For my experience or the world Those who can fly know Those who can fly know Escape Constrains Rise The soul is transient Push from this skeletal cage to ascend A sense of ownership from within The thought that this skin belongs to me All while the real threat of oblivion Is masked by feelings of permanence Those who can fly know Those who can fly know Escape your cage Rise The soul is transient Push from this skeletal cage to ascend Vessel Vessel Vessel

Suddenly in half-sleep Shifting from awake into dreams Silently comes to me An eternal unravelling A deafening roar fills my skull I'm losing myself in it all I'm losing myself in it all Psychical Shattering Lightning strikes behind my eyes searing Voices echo deep in my skull Body lifts only to slump down again Swiftly, in the dark of my mind The eye appears swallowing my vision Piercing gaze keeps me cold and still Paralysis explodes my memory Flashing memories once forgotten Peering into oblivion Oblivion Time will cease Peering into oblivion Oblivion Silent screams in False reality Senses overwhelmed by the unfamiliar To die, no longer a right Shock is not enough To bring me back to the light I'm losing myself in it all Voices echo deep in my skull Swiftly in the dark of my mind Piercing gaze keeps me cold and still Flashing memories once forgotten Peering into oblivion Oblivion Time will cease Suddenly in half-sleep Shifting from awake into dreams Silently, comes to me An eternal unravelling I'm losing myself in it all I'm losing myself in it all I'm losing myself in it all

The truth arcane A protected paradigm Web of encrypted knowledge Leading to the transmutation The self unselfed Preparation of the mind Allow the soul to become A vessel primordial (apochra) Apochra Eye of the mind Concludes its dormancy Awakens through vibration Existence incorporeal (apochra) Apochra Spiralling, incandescent against the monochrome landscape of bodies that form our reality Vessel primordial Formed as a point of life dense and impermeable architect of every aspect of cognition Vessel primordial A drop of oil, which spreads in a shallow pool blanketing all that lies within the fragile banks
